Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

Holidays

  • Searching for a recipe, I realized that today was as good as any to make a stab at organization. I have a tendency to pull out a recipe, make the dish and stuff the recipe back in the box in the front or back ignoring the TABS WITH THE CATEGORY written on them. It is Read more

  • Get outta your head

    I woke up this morning and before I realized that today was supposed to be different, I had the same “basic” thoughts I did in all the days before. There have been a few of my many, many mornings that I’ve jumped out of bed to music, doves and sunshine. But for the most part, Read more

  • Opinions and perspectives

    Just a few days after I assumed the geese were rounding up their belongings and moving on to where ever these geese winter, I wake this morning to….. In a lesson in perspective this afternoon, I was up on the deck taking this video when the basement door opened and he strolled out to see Read more

  • Cows

    I have always loved cows….in fact, I have no idea how I could still be eating them but I can’t go there right now. My grandma had Jersey cows for milking…I always thought they had adorable faces Amongst my many collections of “things” that have come and gone was my cow collection which I finally Read more

  • A day in the life of 2020

    I’ve joined a zoom Strength Builders class that meets on Monday and Thursday mornings. For the last two weeks, I’ve been walking with a slight bend at the waste. I believe this 1) is not natural for most women my age; and 2) this evidence that I accepted the invitation in the nick of time! Read more

  • Thanksgiving this year was just one of those events in my life where I said, Yep…can’t do anything about it…just get through it. Poof…seems as soon as I released my attachment to what it should be, what it’s always been, and stopped ruminating…I began to find some peace, joy and gratitude! Except for the young Read more

  • It hasn’t been that long ago…although definitely pre pandemic time….HE was telling a story about a dinner staple when he was growing up…his mother putting a canned peach slice on a plate topped with cottage cheese. I made the well known gesture of pointing to my throat meaning “gag me” because I was reliving the Read more

  • That would be Joy who is proudly in the Guinness Book of World Records… We have been away from our “Home Town” for nearly 6 years. It seems to be the perfect amount of time needed for me to forget about the things that irritated me about small town living; but, enough time that I Read more

  • Welcome to my therapy session…With the exception of the boys-grand babies, every birthday that comes and goes, I feel a little lost….not because of everyone being a year older but birthday celebrations created by my mother are missing! I wish I could ask her why birthdays and holiday celebrations were so important to her and Read more

  • The Wonder on his face

    We spent New Year’s Eve with JJJJ tonight. After a great meal, we played some games then turned on CNN to watch Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper bring in the New Year in New York. Jenny and Justin had talked to Jax about what we were going to watch and what it meant….conceptually, I don’t Read more
